ERNEST LAPOINTE, Minister of Justice has announced a full meeting of the Dominion- Provincial Committee on constitutional reform ' “ to take place at Ottawa on March 2nd. Accord- ; ing to the Canadian Press it is proposed either‘ 1 I ' ~ (I) that a clause be added to the present consti- , w tution taking the power to amend the British - "North America Act away from the British Par- ' f liament and lodging it in the Dominion Parlia- ment, or (2) that the British North 'Ainerica Act "be repealed and re-enacted by the Dominion __ ' Parliament- .‘ “From these statements," says the Il/Iail and ~ Empire in a striking editorial, f‘it may be judged that the h/IACKENZIE KING Government purposes to destroy the charter of Confederation and to dc- , prive the provinces of the treaty rights, the coli- cession of which led them to enter Confederation. There is ample evidence in.the Confederation de- jolm A. hlACDUNJUJ), Hon. GPIORGIE BROWN and Sir ETIENNE CARTIER that the British North America Act simply confirmed the treaties which the provinces signed amongst themselves as governing the terms upon which the national constitution should be set up. “The effect of such changes as are thus proposed would be to break up the Empjre and to put the provinces in the power of the Ottawa politicians. Some of the conspirators may not be wholly conscious of the ultimate implications ' ' - of the revolution which they are trying to bring about. Others of the conspirators are acting with full consciousness of whither they are trying to car this Dominion. They are merely the dis- ciples of the late GOLDWIN Siuirii, the late joniv S. EWART and of the political descendants of these two anti-British publicists. If the present plot succeeds the provinces will be at the mercy of Ottawa politicians, and it may be taken for granted that they will sooner or later be deprived of their rights guaranteed to them under the constitution. “The danger is that, being controlled by Liberal Governments, most of the provinces will fail to defend their status and privileges under the solemn compact of Confederation. It is an outrage upon Canada that a Federal administra- tion which represents only 35 per cent. of the popular vote should be permitted to work this , grave injury upon a great nation." A Cheerful Governor-General Lord TWEEDSMUIR has just been down to Montreal and made a. speech before the Canadian Authors’ Association in which he has made con- fession of some of his own literary prejudices. He said that he thought that Mr. GEORGE Blzrtnann SHAW had been rather over-praised, i and that a very little of D. H, LAWRENCE went l, long way with him. ' It is rather delightful, comments the Van- icuver Province, to have a new Governor-Gen- ; I fill among us who feels like talking in this vein.

The Island's broad central plains arc well adapted for use as an air base. On its southern shores there are several high bluffs that could easily be used for artillery concentrations such as Italy has placed on the islands of Karpathos and Rhodes. Because Cyprus’s harbors are little more than open roadsteads, it is held in some quarters that Britain wishes to exchange them for the shell.- ered ports of the Cyclades Islands, which during the Great \¢Var she found to he most suitable for I The people of Quebec are greatly agitated over the provincialfpolitical crisis. If, as has been reported, the Ministry is to undergo some sort of reorganization, thc matter is one upon which, obviously, Mr. TASCIIEREAU can make no com- ment pending completion of his plans, sagely re- marks the Montreal Gazette, more in sorrow than in anger, and if there is to bc no reorgani- zation there is,'of course, nothing to be said. Behind this natural reticencc Mr. TASCIIEREAH. no doubt, has given constant and earnest attcn-i tion to what is undoubtedly a serious political and legislative crisis. The Government, with a ma- jority of only six members, may be able to main- tain its position, but it is admittedly a position of extreme difficulty and one from which the province can scarcely hope to obtain the results which appear to he requisite if its problems, eco- nomic, social and legislative, are to be solved. 9E ilk 9k The Winnipeg Evening Tribune prints, with evident delight, the picture of a prairie horned lark, three specimens of which reached the city on St. Valentine's Day, two days before their regular appearance in that quarter, and despite the fact that the temperature was away below zero. This, says the Tribune, should mean some- thing to those citizens who have been doubting whether Western Canada. would “ever emerge from the present unparalleled ice age." It is ex- plained that prairie horned larks spend much ‘of the winter in the midwestern United States- but about the middle of Februarythey start for the North, usually arriving in the Manitoba capital at a. date ranging from the 16th to the 22nd of this month. Their arrival two days ahead of. time is regarded as a hopeful sign that winter is about to relent a bit and prepare the way for spring. The birds do not usually make mistakes.

A big increase initherange and destructive power of the 75-mm., or three-inch gun, the chief artillery weapon in modern warfare, which is assigned to the artillery of the infantry divis- ion is announced. Through development of new tinder-carriage and sighting equipment, follow- mg the "high speeding" of the carriages since the World War, it is explained, the gun may now be fired at elevations up to 45 degrees, in- stead of the fg-degree elevation, obtainable with the old French carriage.

TEETH UNTIL WE ARE ‘OLD As we grow older it seems only natural that we will keep loelng our teeth one by one, or even two by two, and yet. Dr. Guy B. Mllbsrry, Dean of the College of Dentistry, University of California. believes that teeth can be kept ln a sound. healthy condition, working normally ‘and with comfort as long as we llve. You and 1 have seen old people past seventy and even eighty, with every tooth present and all ln good condition. Sometimes good care had been taken in regard to brushing and sometlmevllttle or no attention had been given to the care of the teeth. ' Dr; Mlllberry tells us ln South- western Medicine that. food- ls the most important factor ln growing strong teeth‘ and preventing decay. Even when there ls decay and cavi- tles present ln the teeth, proper food can prevent further decay and pre- vent cavities from enlarglng. He refers to a number of cases record- ed by Drs. Boyd and Drain ln Iowa City who kept decayed teeth and teeth with cavities from getting any worse for a period of flve years by glvlng proper food. 1 Experiments on animals have shown that decay of the teeth can be i. oduced or prevented at will by glvlng improper or proper food. It ls not. that there ls anything wrong with our usual or ordinary dlet but it would seem that some of us need inorellme, phosphorus or vltumln D 1n our diet. than others. As you ‘know some foods will cause hives and sometimes plmpies in some and no dLsturbance whatever in the majority of individuals. These foodsare handled dlflerently by the working processes ln the body. Thus In these cases of dental decay or to prevent dental decay an extra. supply of foods containing llrne, phosphorous andvltnmln D must be eaten. The foods rlch ln llme are milk, cheese, leafy vegetables and egg yolk. The foods rlch ln phosphorus are mllk. cheese. egg yolk, meat, and whole grains. Foods rlch ln vltamtn D are but- ter, egg yolk, whole milk, liver, green vegetables and cod llver oll. In uddttlon to the foods contain- ing llrne, phosphorus and vltamln D, foods that. require chewlng help the circulation of blood in the gums and promote growth of the tooth structure. Japan was urged to excuse her"e‘.f economically. Having become ln- dustrlaliztd, Japan naturally need- ed raw material and markets. The Chinese Empire stood ln _the way. so Japan dealt with that, ‘raking Korea. and obtaining a, sphere of lnluence in blrlnchurls. Russia blocked this, so Japan dealt with Ruirlu.

All public utterances upon the ques- tlon made by any of the thirty Lib- eral candidates at the last election were likewise unequlvocelly ln op- position to a policy of Government Control.
